>I have SQL as the RowSource of a ComboBox. When is that SQL run and the cursor created? It is not available in the INIT of the form and I was hoping that it would be. The ComboBox is instantiated prior to the form, right?

I don't know when exactly does VFP do it; my bet would be .requery() - try putting a
set step on
dodefault()
in there and check for the existence of the cursor when it goes there first time. My guess would be that the cursor would be created during the dodefault()... or not. Just a WAG.
